Gemstone

Story

Sapphires cut as a “pain de sucre” or sugarloaf cabochon are highly coveted for their ability to enhance the already lush blues of the gemstone. The depth intensifies the rich and vivid royal blue colors so sought after in sapphires. Polished so that the stone culminates in a rounded point at the very apex as well as four faces and an overall finish smooth as silk.

This enchanting natural sapphire has an estimated weight of 1.2 carats. Embraced by a halo of white in an oval surround of twelve (12) old European cut diamonds, the total estimated diamond weight is .20 carats. Enhancing their icy glitter, these are set in 14k white gold. A warm 14k yellow gold shank of two elements is banded together with split “V” shaped shoulders and creates a sensuous experience for the hand and eye.
